The Business Trip

The Business Trip CD

The Business Trip is an English dialog series with questions and answers for beginning learners. It is about Mr. Tanaka, who travels to the United States on a business trip. It contains 54 short episodes, followed by a series of questions and answers.

The Business Trip download (118.5 MB) consists of one PDF text file and three mp3 files, altogether over two hours of audio with transcripts. Listen to the three audio files in order:

  • Audio File #1: Dialog (23:09) - Listen.
  • Audio File #2: Dialog with questions and answers (58:00) - Listen and repeat.
  • Audio File #3: Dialog with questions (48:31) - Listen and answer the questions.

    Hi Sarah,

    for IELTS writing the best thing to do is read and listen to broaden your vocabulary and practise writing some answers to questions from former IELTS exams. All that can be found on the net. Some questions like the ones below are IELTS type writing questions.

    1. Children should be forced to attend school until they are eighteen. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

    2. The environment is the only issue. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this assertion?

    You will be marked on grammatical range and accuracy, lexical resource and overall coherence and fluency and I guess how you answer the question.

    cheers M

  23. on 15 Aug 2008 at 12:13 pm23 waleed

    hello .
    first of all thank u v much .second I want to ask question about the study abroad . I know It’s a weird question . but in my country I will study three years in the university (this is new law ), and some teachers said” u can’t study abroad unless u study 4 years’. Is that true ? please can u help me ?

  24. on 15 Aug 2008 at 1:28 pm24 apc33

    Hi Waleed…

    I don’t know what country you are from, but most schools will allow you to study abroad for as long or as short of a time as you wish. What is important is that you check to make sure that your university will accept the credits that you earn while you are abroad. Every university is has its own rules about that.

    Good luck.

    Aaron

    Hello
    I’m from Vietnam and I like this English page very much . But I have a big problem that I try so much for my listening skill but it is really difficult . I do it everyday since 5 years until now . The author seems to speak so fast that I can’t understand . Please show me what is the best way that I can hear from them or maybe my ear is not good ???
    I look forward to hearing from you soon .
    Many thanks ,
